Symptoms of Low Testosterone
Low testosterone levels present themselves through a range of symptoms that prompt men to see their doctor. Concerns like fatigue, brain fog and being overweight may indicate low testosterone levels. Other symptoms like a lower sex drive, testicle shrinkage and depressed mood can also warrant a visit to the doctor.[1] Doctors will run bloodwork on patients to find out if they need hormone replacement therapy and prescribe accordingly.
Most Popular Therapies
The type of dosage form depends on a variety of factors including provider or patient preference and patient lifestyle. Empower Pharmacy has testosterone therapy solutions that range from creams to troches, and the medications can be customized to meet patients’ needs. The three most commonly prescribed dosage forms (by Empower partner providers) are injectables and creams. Other forms are oral troches and nasal gels.
Testosterone Injections
Testosterone injections are the most commonly prescribed testosterone therapy solution by Empower partner providers. The upsides to this dosage form are that it requires less frequent administration and that if the dosage amount seems off, it can be adjusted throughout treatment. And unlike a testosterone cream, there’s no risk of transmitting the medication to someone else.
Testosterone Cream
A topical application, like a testosterone cream, is another popular way to take testosterone. Patients who want to avoid the needle and the pellet incision may find that the cream suits their preferences. The dosage can be adjusted, if needed, because bodies absorb topical treatments differently.
Testosterone Troches & Gels
Oral troches and nasal gels are alternative therapies for patients and providers who prefer not to use injections or creams. Empower Pharmacy has all of these therapies in a range of dosages and, if a patient requires something custom, personalized dosages and forms. Empower can help guide providers on all testosterone therapy options and more.
